I have the Olfa 28, 45 and 60 but love, love, love the Gingher 45 quick change! It's pricey but lasts forever and ergonomic and oh so lovely!
|
45mm kai cut is the one most used by me
|
This may sound dumb..but what would be the difference between using a 45 and a 60 besides it being bigger. What is the advantage - one vs the other.
|
I love my Olfa ergonomic 45 cutter. I have small hands and this size works best for me. I also like that the blade automatically retracts once I let go of the handle. I'm always forgetting to push the blade guard after I cut on the other ones. I have a smaller blade that I use when using some templates.
Thanks for the tip on the pinking blade potentially damaging the cutting mat. Great idea however in pinking the edges when you pre-wash for less ravels. |
The first cutter I bought was a 45 Fiskars, I used it for a while but retired it completely because the cap that screwed onto the plastic screw would not stay, it loosened on it's own after short use and the blade would wobble. I went to a 45 Olfa that I loved until I used someone's 60 at a class and now that is my most used favorite. I've never used a pinking blade so no opinion other than I don't really have a desire to try one.

I have an Olfa 45mm and a 60mm, and I use the 45mm almost exclusively. I also have a pinking edge rotary cutter, but I rarely use it.
|
Ditto the Olfa 45 the most. Have a 60 but interesting enough the 60 seems to loose the sharpness quicker than my 45? Might just be the blades I bought.
|
I have numerous rotary cutters. Just bought the Martelli one and was given another when I bought one of their cutting tables. I have 4 or 5 45mm..one or two 24mm, one 18mm and one 60mm. The one I love the most is my 60mm Olfa. I would be totally lost without it. I use it if I'm cutting several layers or one. Once in a while I need to use something smaller if trying to cut tight places but I always go back to my 60mm. Once I got use to it..nothing will take it's place.
|
I have been using the Olfa original yellow 45mm cutter for about fifteen years and it still works. I think I got my moneys worth! Who says things aren't made to last any more.:D

I have all three sizes but it's 60 in constant use.
